Navigating Housing Support: A Deep Dive into HUD's 811 Program for People with Disabilities

This episode is the second part of a two-part podcast series presented by the National Center for Health in Public Housing. The goal of the podcast series is to highlight the need to provide specialized services to people with special needs living in public or assisted housing.
In this episode, we explore the HUD 811 Program, its purpose, and history. Learn about the populations it serves and the eligible grantees involved. We also delve into the impact of the Olmstead decision on housing options under the 811 Program, ensuring community-based living for people with disabilities.
We will clarify the differences between the 811 Program and the 202 Program for the elderly and distinguish 811 from traditional Public Housing and Section 8 housing. Discover how HUD and the 811 Program address the challenges of aging in place for people with disabilities. Finally, we provide guidance on local contacts and online resources for Health Centers seeking assistance. Join us for an informative discussion on the vital support provided by HUD's 811 Program.
